Decreases Bounce Rate And Save Lots Of Money…

In today’s world where the attention span of a human (8 seconds) is lower than that of goldfish (9 seconds), it is a challenge for startups to grab the customer’s attention in first few seconds of their visit.

The only solution to fetch more and more audiences and decreasing the bounce rate is to add an animated explainer video on your landing page which will help to reduce the bouncing rate by an average 34% and engaging a visitor on your site for approximately 6 minutes.

For instance, 70% bounce rate means that 7000 out of 10000 visitors left without any engagement with your website. Imagine you can earn $100 from every user, this implies you lost $700000 in total.

Being practical and logical, it is unlikely that out of 7000 of them, all would make a purchase but on the same hand, it is also true that many would make a purchase and that’s the reason to upload a unique, creative explainer video on the landing page to decrease the bounce rate.

A minute of video is worth 1.8 million words, so use an explainer video to engage the audience and make them feel delighted and entertained at the same time, thereby turning them into your loyal customers who will market your product, eventually increasing the sales.
